  • Publisher: BRILL

Politics of Education in Latin America: Reforms, Resistance and Persistence portrays complex situations of education change policies in Latin America from Argentina and Chile, the southernmost part of the continent, to Mexico, the northernmost. The analyses tour through Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Cuba to conclude with a chapter that scrutinizes why the big teacher unions reject most attempts at education reforms. In these, teachers are the target of criticism and, at the same time, the focus of the expectations for progress and better educational quality. Readers will find a variety of contentious issues such as inclusion, equity, privatization, uses of power, and dialectics between the indications of intergovernmental organizations and the rejection of their recommendations by local political actors. They will also find narratives to raise public education participation, improve the quality of life of teachers, and put local education systems to dialogue with the global world. The politics of education in Latin America is a territory that groups and institutions continue to dispute since the establishment of their education systems.

Re-envisioning Higher Education’s Public Mission

This book covers initiatives related to higher education’s public mission such as university-community engagement, knowledge transfer, economic development, and social responsibility, using empirical and conceptual cases in the US, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. In order to develop a better understanding of public mission initiatives in higher education across the globe, the volume editors developed a theoretical framework emerging from organizational theory. Each chapter analysis uses both external environmental elements (political, economic, sociocultural, and technological), as well as internal institutional elements (mission, vision, leadership, and governance). Finally, each chapter highlights issues related to implementation and challenges with the intent of prompting readers to consider appropriate ways in which to adopt some of the lessons learned by the contributing authors.Chapter 10 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.m.

Leituras e contraponto

O livro nasceu de uma colaboração entre a Universidade Federal do Ceará, a Scuola Superiore Meridionale di Napoli e a Università degli Studi di Genova. É o resultado de uma conferência intitulada Letterature in contrappunto. Esperienze di critica letteraria tra Mediterraneo e Atlantico, que ocorreu no dia 8 de dezembro de 2020, na Universidade Federal do Ceará. O livro reverbera o tema que o intitula. Tenta colocar em diálogo pesquisas brasileiras e italianas que se contrastam, se entrelaçam ou simplesmente se complementam.
